AUDEMARS PIGUET ROYAL OAK TOUR­BIL­LON CHRONO­GRAPH OPENWORKED

Re­leased in 2016, the Royal Oak Tour­bil­lon Chrono­graph Openworked proves that an openworked dis­play with two ma­jor com­pli­ca­tions need not look clut­tered. Leg­i­bil­ity is a strong point of this time­piece — the blue, satin-brushed di­als of the 30-minute chrono­graph, min­utes, and small sec­onds coun­ters con­trast with pink-gold hour-mark­ers and lu­mi­nes­cent hands. A skele­tonised and dec­o­rated tour­bil­lon is shown at 6 o’clock.

The roomy layout is made pos­si­ble with a 44mm case width. Con­sid­er­ing the case’s plat­inum ma­te­rial, its 13.2mm thick­ness, and the cal­i­bre 2936 move­ment’s 299 parts, this time­piece counts among larger and heav­ier Royal Oaks. It has a power re­serve of 72 hours.
